Beskrivning

Deliverance Ministry is a balanced and practical guide to one of the most complex and often misunderstood areas of Christian ministry.Drawing on the authors' experience of providing national and diocesan training within the Church of England, it explores deliverance ministry from theological, spiritual, cultural, psychological and medical perspectives.Covering phenomena including hauntings, poltergeists, spirit attachment, occult involvement and possession states, the authors emphasise careful discernment, safeguarding, teamwork and responsible pastoral care, including collaboration with mental health professionals in aiming to bring about healing and peace.Informed by the Church of England House of Bishops' 2023 guidelines on deliverance ministry, this authoritative resource equips clergy, chaplains, pastoral ministers and theological students to approach questions of spiritual disturbance with theological depth, pastoral sensitivity and appropriate professional safeguards.

Recensioner i media

'Cook and Richards's timely, wise and sensitive book sets out, clearly and accessibly, a rationale for deliverance ministry and good practice advice. The Lord's Prayer line 'Deliver us from evil' is given shape for the twenty-first century, drawing on all the wisdom of theology, pastoral practice and social sciences. An important read for those with any pastoral ministry.'
